If nothing else, I'll say that the Catholic Church really doesn't seem to have an official stance on "transgenderism". There's lots of priests and bishops who will try to convince you it does, and there are plenty of them talking about how "gender ideology" is "colonizing the family" or some other similar things, but even the Pope who just said all this also says of trans women that they are "daughters of God" and meets with them regularly. There's are groups in the church made of bishops, Cardinals, and priests who explicitly support LGBTQ people and trans people in particular.

Did you even read this article? Frank made his stance very clear that he is making trans people his enemy.

Also worth noting that just because a Pope says it doesn't make it the stance of the church. For all that he has basically unlimited power of government, he (and popes generally) doesn't address major points of doctrine.
